Arizona family fights court order to euthanize dog

A Pima County court ordered euthanasia for a dog named Snuggles after a biting incident on the owner's property.

Owner Jennifer Evancho claims Snuggles, a 1.5-year-old Anatolian Shepherd, bit someone while in a heightened protective state guarding against coyotes.

A Change.org petition and GoFundMe campaign seek to pressure Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) and local courts to release Snuggles.

The family asserts Snuggles has no history of aggression and the bite occurred when a family member spooked him during predator activity.
